Phriday photo phinish phiesta

Some more moments from our December holiday - this is an Ostrich up close and personal - she ate out of my hand! The Ostrich is the world's biggest bird and is commercially farmed is South Africa for their excellent healthy meat, skin and feathers. It is also indigenous to South Africa and is represented in our National parks.

They are huge and can deliver a kick that have killed grown men, but these are in a touch farm and used to people (and behind wire!)

Those birds scare the crud out of me! I love all birds but those are too incredibly BIG! Plus, while going on a drive through safarri they chased our car and pecked at our windows. AACK! Felt like I might know how it felt to be chased by a dinosaur. They are prehistoric aren't they?
